The Pro’s and Con’s of Steel Framed Buildings:

Termite Proof – Zambia is home to aggressive Termites and other wood boring insects. Steel Frames are immune to this. Steel is classified as a Termite resistant material. You do not have to use physical or chemical termite barriers which could represent a health hazard.

Cost Effective – Steel Frames are extremely cost effective and are comparative to equivalent Timber trusses. In addition to this the Steel Frames are much quicker to manufacture, assemble and erect on your building saving you time – your most important asset.

Fire Safety – Steel Frames are fire resistant and much safer that Timber frames. This will lower your insurance premiums and give you the peace of mind to rest easy. In the event of a fire your family is much safer as there is less combustible material.

Built to Last – Steel Frames are built to last, it does not warp, twist or shrink. What this means is that in 30 year’s time your building structure will be as true as the day it was built. This not only increases the value of your property but saves you from rebuilding certain sections over the years that may have cracked or moved.

Rotting Resistance – Steel frames are impervious to wood rot and leaking pipes. If your Timber trusses rot you will have to replace them. Steel Frames on the other hand are made from High Quality Galvanized Steel and are guaranteed to last longer than your house.

Environmentally Friendly – Steel Frames are made from Long Lasting Galvanized Steel. This material is much more environmentally friendly that using timber which generally comes from unsustainable and illegal sources. It can also be recycled many times over.
